while millions in the u. k. were locked down. no breakthrough with russia. yes, mito says significant differences remain after high thanks me saying with moscow over ukraine be highly contagious. so mc on variance of cove at 19 fuels record numbers of infections worldwide, pushing hospitals to breaking points. and the search continues for victims of an attack by government in north west nigeria, which one's 60 people were killed. and in sport novak jock of it is admitted to not isolating after a positive test, for covey. 19 last month and his social media post the tennis world. number one accepted, he made an error of judgement. ah,

well, well let's as starts with these talks between russia and the 2 in brussels over ukraine. they have no ends. it's but they've entered without a breakthrough for head. so all the nato military alliance installed in burg says significant differences with moscow still remain and will not be easy to resolve. the nato russia council had met for the 1st time since 2019, in an attempt to ease some of the worse tensions since the cold war. this crisis is a, is, is, is a making of russia. and therefore, this important debate deescalate the ukraine has the right to self defense duct and shrine. and you an, a family talker anger for so many dollars when they natal, alice, and little help them to uphold of actor right to, to self defense. while russia has made a number of security demands among them, a guarantee that nato will not accept ukraine and other former soviet nations as at

members of nato. what we've got see correspondence covering both sides of the story . dorsey jabari is lie for us in law school. first though, let's had to paris, where we could speak to natasha butler and natasha. i wish there was no risk resolution from that meeting. was there am, what did we learn from? it's all we learnt was that there were no major breakthroughs at the end of the meeting between nato members and senior russian negotiators and later headquarters in brussels. it's not a complete surprise though. going into these talks. the natives are it. nato secretary general installed to berg had said that at the end of the meeting, it would be a good result if all sides agreed to continue discussions. now that did happen

a sultan burg. after the meeting said that russia and nato members had said that they will continue to have talks. we don't have though, any time table on that. i mean, the main problem here is that you have 2 sides, nato and russia that are really deeply entrenched in their positions. on one side, you have a russia saying to nato that it once nato, to stop encroaching as it sees it in the east, up expanding eastwards at once. guarantees that ukraine would never become a nato member. on the other side, you have nato saying, those demands are simply unacceptable. it is up to nato to choose which countries become members, both sides accusing each other over fueling attentions as this crisis of ukraine continues now sell to salton berg did. and his press by saying, look, we and nato are very clear eyed about moscow. he said that it was repeated during

the meeting to officials or from russia that were russia to invade ukraine, that there would be said stole to burg, very serious consequences. ok, natasha butler. lie from paris. natasha. thank you. let's head across to moscow. now where we join at dorsey to bart jabari source of what have her, what is russia's position. and we understand that the foreign minister is due to make some kind of statements. but what have they been saying, going into this crucial meeting? well, the deputy foreign minister or the russian deputy foreign minister, alexander roscoe, has called this a moment of truth in russia, nato relations. and he's due to speak to the press in brussels in the next hour or so. so we'll get a better idea of how the russians saw this meeting read that unfolded earlier today . and the position here is that the kremlin believes that's what the,

what they do with their military in terms of their movement alongside their own borders within russia is really not anybody else's business. the position is that they are free to send troops or any of their borders that they wish. and the concern the international community has had over the nearly 100000 russian troops that have been deployed to near the border with the border with ukraine. is a not really something they should be concerned about. very russians have said that this is something that they are well within their rights and that the meetings they've had all this week has been about. russia's concern about nato expanding and including more countries. right now they're at 30 and a believe to increase more further is the threat to this country and that is something that they will not stand for it for their part. they said that this meeting today was an important opportunity to continue dialogue to de escalate the tensions, and that they really are making it very clear that russia has no intentions of

invading ukraine any time soon. but this is something the nato secretary general said that they hope is the case, but they have had experiences in the past where russia use aggression to deliver their point. and we're going to here shortly from the deputy russian foreign minister, who again will highlights how they saw this meeting or come to an end earlier today . but the consensus is that there will be further meetings and that they will not have another 3 years break between the 2 sides meet dosage to buy their life from moscow door. so thank you. well, here's a quick reminder of how we got see this points. it all started here. on the crimean peninsula, we're russia has one of its most important naval bases, and its only warm water ports. in 2014 ukraine's pro russian governments was toppled in a revolution forming months of pro democracy protests. russia responded by season

control of crimea and move that is considered illegal under international law. pro russian separatists there declares independence en, done yet, scandal hands counselor referendum that triggered a conflict between ukraine and the separatists. and despite a cease, fire agreed in minsk. sporadic fi thing has never really stops in the east of the country now in 2016. these are consolidated its eastern franken to point battle groups to baltic states and poland in response to the annexation of crimea. and the latest tensions began at brewing late last year, as russia began to mobilize 100000 troops near the border with the sin ukraine, prompting fears of an invasion. well, let's get more on this from february sportier. he was the director of policy

planning at ne, so, and is currently the chief strategy officer at rasmussen, global joyce's by scope from santander in spain. is good to have you with us, for breeze. i have just given her that the potted history of you like all the situation, but both sides do seem rather intrenched to here to use the in orfram poor. can we expect to see is yen stalkin burg henzy that in that presser, another armed conflicts on european soil? well, i think it's pretty much been president cuttings hands because this crisis is really made in junior, by president putin who has been escalating both rhetorically. but also from a military point of view, a so it's, it's the burden he's on him to de escalate and take a more reasonable status. however, i think he, he's demands are not going to be met by the name to allies because they're just non

stop. there's no need to ally is going to agree to basically reduce the sovereignty and the freedom of choice or any other nato member or nato partner or like ukraine . however, i think what we can hope for is out of these a dialogue, however difficult to tease. they could be a modicum of understanding on things that are what we could even sense like exercise or so some strategic weapon systems that the russians have based on the european sword, which could be either withdrawn or they could be more transparency about their, their deployment. that we seem to suggest that the emphasis really is on thought to be a person to act. if he doesn't, won't say if he wants to stand firm. what are nato his options? well, it's equal interest and firm, and that's what you've heard today. and what you've heard from the u. s.

administration. he shows is that we are ready for whatever was in our, your president putin is contemplating. nobody wants to speculate on exactly what he's going to do, but i think everybody is willing to get ready for the worse. and that would imply, obviously a military response from the western alliance, but also a pretty, pretty important economic response bias sanctions. and i think this is where the, where it is trying to draw the line and, and hope that president putin with see that the cost benefit of basically your, for her invasion of ukraine is not really in his favor. and, but it's not really in the favor of a lot of european allies either. let's not forget that the continent is going through at an economic crunch itself in terms of gas supply. and so there are

several countries in europe who are nato members, a don't particularly want to build more barriers between the country that is essentially as supplying most of their winter fuel to getting through the cold months. i have so to write a president putin has this uni, quit bonded, the gas went on that he holds on on europe and, and the german government decision to go ahead with north street to was obviously a vacant productivity that says however, the other side of the argument is also that president putin and russia general ad dependent on the european market. so through the european market, then will also you lose basically a big source of income. so i think the costs are on both sides. but the question is whether russia alone, because russia is alone here, as we're talking about 30 nato countries,

was actually pretty unifying their position, whether russia wrong can, can stand up cause that bed just. and just finally and quickly, a few words. it's all very well to talk tough on this, but, and you say no nato allies or unites aids bed. when it comes down to it. you know, how likely really are countries in europe going to be to go to war over ukraine, which frankly means a lot more to, to russia than it does. certainly too many european countries. yeah, this is a nice symmetry of interest between how important your credit is to russia and how important your credit is to, to nato. and that has always be the issue and why natal has been, i will say very cautious and it's a support to ukraine and to now however, remember when the russian invaded the ukraine,

both crimea and eastern bass. and you started to have russian bully backs reaching the russian territory. president putin more started to be quite cautious about the activities in your cray. so he's also very sensitive to the russian public opinion. so i think we should not underestimate. he's frankly, that says, and that he's actually quite cautious play or even though he's pretty bored in his willingness to escalate. ok, fabulous. puts a right of time. great to get your thoughts. so you might have so much for joining us on the al jazeera news, or what the british prime minister has apologized to the nation after admitting attending a garden party intending street during the 2020 national lockton. this of course, at a time when his own government was enforcing strict measures confining millions of

people at home. while johnson insists it was a work events for the opposition labor party and some of his own. m. p. 's keys in him of the section and have called for his resignation. i have learned enough to know that there were things we simply did not get right. and i must take responsibility. number 10 is a big department. with the gardener's extent, as an extension of the office, which has been in constant use because of the role of fresh air and stopping the bars. and when i went into that garden, just after 6 on the 20th of may, 2020, to frank groups of stock before going back into my office 25 minutes later to continue working. i believed implicitly that this was a work event. after months of deceit and deception, so pathetic spectacle of a man who's run out of road. his defense,

his defense, that he didn't realize he was, it's a party. ha, it is so ridiculous that is actually offensive to the british. yet he's finally been forced to be what every one you that with the whole country was locked down. he was hosting boozy part is in town express. se, now going to do the decent thing and resign let's say he lives 19. 19 bob roney is outside the british parliaments in london at nadeem, finally and apology. then from boris johnson. but what has he actually apologized for? because he didn't really admit seed done anything wrong city. absolutely not. ha, it was unusual to hear the prime minister apologize at all. but when he said i would, i wish to apologize. he didn't continue that sentence,

but then moved on to say that he acknowledged that there was an amount of rage being directed towards him and the government because people feel that rules were not being followed at 10 downing street. he went on to acknowledge the sacrifices by people around the country in the spring of 2020 who couldn't meet up with loved ones, go to funerals, or go to care homes and the like. and so no, he did not say what he had done wrong. he did say i take responsibility, but of course there was that excuse or that justification saying that he thought it was a work event. he said that he would have done things differently, which implies that he knows it was a party. and it's very difficult when you see the email inviting a 100 people to are gathering at the end of the work day and telling them to bring their own booze, how anyone can, could glued otherwise. and not surprisingly,

there were more calls from a range of opposition, politicians for the prime minister to step down. and so what happens next, nadine does is that then not for the moment. he has got some time because there is an investigation now by a senior civil service called su gray. the metropolitan police have said they are in touch with the cabinet office over the event. and just in the last couple of hours, the leader of the liberal democrats at davy has written to the match police saying, boris johnson admitted today that he did attend this illegal party in the downing street garden. the met police must now confirmed that a full investigation will be launched and that the prime minister himself will be interviewed. i mean, that's really something that many people feel would be automatic given that in may 2020 people were being issued with fines for breaking those rules,

which said you should, i mean only meet with on one person outside your own household are very big fines in some cases, so it's not just about the perception or, and the hurt that people feel because they were following the rules. but the other side of the equation that people were actually punished. so many people do want to know if there will be any consequences. beyond that though, politically, there are rumors thereof, murmuring sir, amongst her political commentators here in westminster, the a growing number of conservative m p 's feel that he now is to weakens and that he will have to go. that would be through the batch back bench or committee call the 1922 committee, which is actually i understand meeting earth on wednesday afternoon. we're not clear about any numbers or any time scale at the moment. but clearly many m. p 's who had said that if he was at the party,

he'd have to go now see the admission and really it's hard for them to, to know what to do apart from be true to their word and, and, and, and look for an alternative. okay. well, that party might be over, but the saga certainly is not needing bother crates, having that as thanks very much in the that has been an explosion. and some aaliyah's, capital, mogadishu, according to local ambulance services, at least 10 people have been killed, including 5 security officers authority, say a car bomb targeted a security convoy in arms group. i'll chabarise says it carries out the attack on a road leading to the airports north careers, claiming the successful launch of another hypersonic missile, st media release, images of liter, kim johnson, observing the 2nd launch in less than a week. i, per sonic missiles can more easily avoid detection and interception band,

the highest ever daily tally. for any country in the world, the strain on the health care system has been compounded by staff shortages as hospital workers are getting infects, it's around 14000000 people in a chinese city will undergo covert 19 tests for the 2nd time. this week. mass testing began in cnc in on sunday and after 2 cases of the amok on variance were detected. the city is next to the capital bay. gym and authorities are concerned that an outbreak could pose a risk to next month's winter olympics. and indonesia has begun and small lights of vaccine booster shots to the elderly, and people with weak immune systems. the jobs will be offered free of charge after initial plans to charge people for the vaccine spot controversy. indonesia is seeing a 3 month high in new cases. largely driven by the, on the con,

variance. well, since the pandemic began, countries have verb, issued different rules around masks. but that is changing because of the highly contagious omicron variance. a study by an association of american hygienists shows that coven particles can transmits between mosque was people within 15 minutes. if 2 people are wearing cloth masks that can transmit, within 27 minutes, surgical masks provides around an hour of protection between 2 people. while n 95 masks can provide 25 hours of protection or 2500 ers. if the masks are tightly sealed, we can speak now to dr. barret spun hernia. he's a senior clinical lecture at the university of exc. exeter medical school is also an expert in infectious disease control and joins is by skype from bath in the u. k

. s kit to have you with his doctor pan cornea. we didn't know what we're dealing with in early 2020, but 2 years on ed, shirley. we must know how do we protect ourselves from the corona virus and more specifically, this variance. in fact, we are learning new things every day, and he always amazes me how much more we have to learn. so it went to respect to the masks. and remember, the way the masks were created and tested, they were not tested on viruses. so it's a proxy measure, the proxy measure clearly tells us 2 things. one, it tightly fitting mosque is better than the loosely fitting mask. the 2nd bit is a mosque with a much more tight term walker to palin fabric. in other words, smaller pause. prevent those virus particles from getting through and therefore afford more protection against this more infectious variant. so is that fair to say

it's no time to ditch the clock masks if you want to protect yourself from omicron, to be only to start running 8 and getting surgical or, and $95.00 mosques. i hesitate to say so because what we can afford in the west and rich nations is not what can be afforded all over the world . so i would start by saying this, those craft mask that flimsy piece of fabric that you would in front of your nose and mug, definitely ditch that. secondly, where a good quality, a mosque properly. so even if you were to wear a, a surgical mask, but you wore it properly, it will afford you about 80 percent protection. if on the other hand, yes, you've got supplies and you can afford it. then of course, you can move on to your what we call f pete to mosques, which provide that much greater protection. it's not that much more. it's in the

order of about 94 percent more and i would avoid the f, b 3 and leave that for our in the clinical settings. only our cape and what about scenarios were at 90 fives, or even surgical masks aren't readily available you, hence it's asset. there. there are many countries worldwide that do not have the access to the, the vaccines, the boosters and the, and the fancy masks that many in the west enjoy. what advice would you give to people in developing nations at the really want to protect themselves from this virus at but don't have the same means the wealthy countries to well, the basics are very important and this is a human to human transmission of infection. so stay away from crowds and stay in places which are better ventilated, that already put you into a good position. the current position is if you really need to make up your own mosque, then make sure it is multi layered, made with

a fabric which is water appellant on the outside. if observant on the inside and triple layers and make sure it fits really tight against your nose and mouth and where it properly. so there are many things and many infection control measures that are very cheap to implement and we need w h o and others, other countries, other, other governments to give this simple, easy to follow advice. ok, don't sir. barrettes upon county other infectious disease control experts from the university of makes the start medical school grades to get your advice very helpful to our viewers. thank you very much indeed. thank you. sell heads here on the l. t . as in use are the trial of the 25 man accused of organizing. the easter bombings in israel anchor is adjourned until mice and a sports one of the brake tennis $1.20. the started the new year end equally

a decade. and war has been raging in the country for almost 8 years. well, with that backdrop, what has happened in the last month? things have got much worse, they say that has been a deterioration of the humanitarian situation, an escalation by all sides of that military action. a short time ago, the un security council was brief, but the un special envoy for you haven't hands, greenberg before, to re starting on a challenging the military escalation, i described in this count last month, has accelerated, as the part is dropping down on military options. 7 years down the road of war, the prevailing belief of old war insides seems to be that things sufficient harm on the other will force them into submission. however, there is no sustainable long term solution to be found on the food. therefore, i will continue to stress that warring parties can, should,

and indeed must talk even if they are not ready to put down their arms. so he's saying that there is no military solution to this. there need to be talks. he says, the break that cycle that needs to be what he calls inclusive internationally back political process, but it seems all the sides and the war in yemen aren't listening. and we also heard from a senior humanitarian official from the united nations. again, briefing the security council saying that over 15000 people have been de plate displaced in the last month. and the number of civilians that have been reported killed is 358 that's tied for the highest figure at any point in the last 3 years. very grim news from yemen often described by people as the forgotten war. but it's a war that continues to rage in okay. james, these, they're bring as ups as eights from the u. n. in new york. james, thank you very much. indeed. hong kong is throwing up more laws to combat what it

venezuela's been growing. some 30 people have been killed since the beginning of the year, while others have been kidnapped or forcibly recruited or displaced. i think that create the not the beer in the population. many people fear that the region is going back to the the call that they live the big and then between the land and the far back then i'm the human impact has been really, really to be the violence has reached a new level since a long standing truth between the arm groups broke down the last word between the den 5 gravels in the land, less than a 1000 people that and displaced almost 60000. the colombian government now blames have been a swell for the current violence, accusing the venezuelan government of sheltering the on groups in their territory.

something the government in kodak has denied people from towns along the border of peak into the streets, demanding peace. colombian president, the van duke is deploying 2 battalions to regain control of the region, but some experts believe more troops won't solve the problem. and then i'll get you an order make awfully, a rica still has a huge unresolved conflict, and people have no confidence in the state. it already has the highest amount of soldiers per square meter in columbia. sending $600.00 more trips will not make a difference. what's needed is to restart patient negotiations with the l in that ok. and until the troubling that can be contained, humanitarian crisis will only continue to grow spreading here to the capital and beyond. allison, the and p a t t l, just gotta at least 10 people have been killed in landslides and flesh fonts in the brazilian states over. mean, ask,

erase the region has been hit by several natural disasters called my have you caused by the heavy rainfall since the weekend. more than 17000 people had to flee their homes. prompted miners to suspend some operations in the state. more rain is expected to continue there this week. the u. k. government says, announced the biggest change to land practices in decades. farmers will be paid thousands of dollars for adopting an eco friendly approach. but with the population expected to exceed 70000000 by 2030. in years or warning of a shortage of arable lands, increasing dependency on foot imports. the fox reports from southeast england. this he has to be arable for if this sort of in winter wheat, 18 years ago, and nap castle estate, they've been re wilding the land before anyone really knew what it meant. the soil to unprofitable to grow produce is ideal for handing back to mother nature. and now a welcome cash subsidy,

courtesy of british taxpayers for continuing what they're doing. this is the most important thing for 40 years. i guess. i mean, it is a combination of years and years and years of thinking and, and discussing and hopefully influencing some of the decision making. but yeah, wow, it's amazing. it's the biggest shake up of britain's landscape in a generation says the government, a $1000000000.00 funding scheme designed firstly to incentivize sustainable farming . and secondly, to reverse the decline of nature by paying landowners to re wild their properties all possible since the u. k. left, the e use common agricultural policy that subsidized farmers depending on the size of their land. the new post breaks it funds designed to reward farmers for making environmentally positive choices. we have now legally binding targets or the environment most notably a target to reverse the decline in nature by 2030. and we have a responsibility as

a governments to ensure that the payment rates we make are attractive enough to incentivize the uptake of our schemes. whether a rumblings of concern, worries, the plans will simply reward already wealthy farmers that have lambs to spare concerns to about lives, livelihoods, of small a tenant farmers who could be kicked off land to make way for re wilding schemes. and what about food security? say farmers, britain needs more nor less farmland, to feed a growing population or run the risk of being increasingly dependent on foreign and potentially lower quality import. delivering food for the country is also an absolutely crucial part of what we do, so must be delivering food alongside environmental delivery, rob van, instead of it's raise questions about the future of farming, how to balance sustainability and food production. this might be the answer, not an agricultural revolution,

but something that's been done for centuries. small local farms close to urban areas. agriculture is at a crossroads and the more land that's handed over to nature in return for government subsidies in the coming years means that we may come very soon to rely upon local producers like this to feed our communities. we live in a world shape, buying food, and the land. it's grown on. nature's future is our future. ne park al jazeera southeast england still had so on al jazeera novak joke. events blames his agents for making a mistake on his visa application. had of his arrival in australia, stay with us, spoke coming up after the break.
